Does anyone have a way to use absolute import paths with nls?

The -I flag in nickel export was a really nice change for being able to store shared schemas/contracts in a module like directory. Unfortunately, using the absolute paths break with nls and afaict nls doesn't support the include flag.

Are people just using relative paths or is there some other way to make this sort of layout work?

# import "common/ports.ncl" instead of import "../../common/ports.ncl"
/deployments/whatever.ncl

/common => contracts for ports or something

I guess -I is a little more complicated, but I'd consider it a bug that nls doesn't honor the NICKEL_IMPORT_PATH env variable.

I'm a bit surprised that absolute paths don't work, though... if you wouldn't mind filing an issue, that would help me remember to look into both of these next week.

Thanks, opened an issue #1786
